About this facility
Ucla Med Ctr is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Los Angeles, California, operated under government ownership. It has been Medicare-certified since July 1, 1996. An IRF provides intensive, hospital-level therapy — typically physical, occupational, and speech therapy — to help patients regain function after a stroke, surgery, or other serious injury, with the goal of returning home rather than remaining in long-term institutional care. This differs from a skilled nursing facility, which generally offers a lower intensity of daily therapy.
According to CMS Care Compare, several of the standard national comparison measures for this facility — including the rate of patients discharged to the community, potentially-preventable readmission rates (both during the stay and after discharge), and healthcare-associated infection rates for catheter-associated urinary tract infections and C. diff — are not currently published for this facility. CMS often withholds these figures when there are too few qualifying patient cases to report a reliable statistic; this does not indicate poor quality, only that data is unavailable.
Based on the measures reported, CMS does not currently show this facility as better than or worse than the national benchmark on any of the five standard measures (0 better, 0 worse), reflecting the limited published data rather than a specific performance finding. Families are encouraged to consult Medicare Care Compare directly for the most current figures. Data referenced here reflects the most recent CMS Care Compare vintage available.
